Description
Description
A 100% pure Himalayan cashmere cardigan, hand-combed from Chyangra (Changthangi) goats and knitted by artisans in Nepal — NPIA-certified for authenticity. An open layer that works over a shirt or a tee.
The Epitome of Structured Luxury.
Named after Nepal's serene City of Lakes, the Pokhara Cardigan is a study in balance. While standard knits rely on "fluff" for warmth, the Pokhara achieves its substance through density. It is tightly hand-finished for a smooth, resilient surface that drapes with the authority of a tailored jacket and the soul of a warm embrace.
A Protective Thermal Barrier The secret to the Pokhara lies in its compact architecture. By packing more pure cashmere into every square inch, we created a fabric that is naturally wind-resistant and incredibly durable. It offers a "Power Cardigan" silhouette—sleek enough to layer under a coat, yet substantial enough to act as your primary outer layer during cool transitional mornings.
Refined Professionalism Crafted from 100% pure Chyangra cashmere, the Pokhara features a polished, fine-knit finish that exudes professional polish. Its classic round neckline is the perfect frame for a collared shirt or pearls, making it the ultimate tool for the boardroom or high-stakes digital presentations. It is softness, reinforced with strength.
Why It’s a Lifetime Essential:
- Unmatched Density: A high-tension weave that blocks drafts and gives it a crisp, tailored line.
- Lady-Like Silhouette: The classic crew neck design offers a versatile aesthetic that transitions seamlessly from the office to evening events.
- NPIA Certified Purity: 100% pure Himalayan cashmere. No blends, no synthetics—just 16-micron fibers in their most resilient form.
- Artisanal Integrity: Individually hand-finished by master artisans in Nepal, carrying a level of detail and soul that mass-produced knitwear cannot match.

- Softness: Ultra-fine 16-micron fibers 16-micron fibers are exceptionally rare and luxurious, creating an extraordinarily soft feel against your skin (for comparison, human hair is about 75 microns). Each wear feels like wrapping yourself in a cloud.
